Green, superintendent of the Arkansas division of the Iron Mountain, is at headquarters this week in attendance upon the conference of operating officials of the system with reference to the inauguration of a new time card, and talks interestingly of is being done at on the M^em ph . Green states i that men at % work there and that the job will be completed within three months. Upwards of 425,000 cubic yards of dirt will be re moved from the cut, and will be used in filling certain bridges on this line. While an enormous amount of earth is to be removed from the cut, no detour will be built and trains will continue to be ope rated through and over this road during the progress of the work. The reducing of the grade will bring the Memphis short line to the standard grade, six-tOnths of one per cent, and will greatly facilitate the handling of freight over this line. Heretofore it has been necessary to “double” this hill when freight trains of heavy tonnage were operated, and this has necessitated the loss ef much time, an important factor in modern transportation. RAISING SEEDLESS FRUITS. Boms Success Achieved with Apples, Plums and Cherries in the Last Few Years. A veteran nurseryman of Colorado heralds the fact that after years of pa tient experiment in grafting and budding he has secured a seedless apple. Modest ly the creator has w ithheld information of his success until he has secured 40 trees of his new variety, says a local in formant. Expert pomologists have ex amined the new apple, and declare it to be very handsome in appearance. De tails of the methods by which this achievement was attained have not been divulged, but when it Is remembered f k o ♦ tk ft mlllmn_k/\v /iron nf r o trol oranges came from a single shipment of six slips the start that has already been attained with 40 productive trees presages an early appearance of the seedles apple in commerce. The department of agriculture, as well as many grape growers, have been work ing for years on the problem of a seed less grape, and, while rumors of success have appeared from time to time during the past decade, the Sultana and Thomp son seedless varieties have during the past year established their reputation among the viticulturists. The Japanese plum, without a stone, is also reported a reality, although the seeds have not been obviated. Cherries without stones are promised in the immediate future. Seedless tomatoes are alleged to have j been perfected by an Indiana woman, be- j lng grown from the stock of the tomato, j which Is replanted when it is at its full height. Watermelons of the same freak nature are also rumored from Georgia, but not much credence is placed in this report, though if tomatoes have been perfected there is no essential reason why similar success should not be a*» t&lned with the watermelon.
